BRIAN WINS A GRAMMY FOR THE SMILE SESSIONS ALBUM
Posted on February 10, 2013 at 09:38:07 PM by Bruce Johnston

The best news ever:
Brian Wilson wins a Grammy today in the Best Historical Album category for The SMiLE Sessions (Deluxe Box Set).
How wonderful to be able to go back in time when Brian was in his mid-twenties and then to release his fascinating SMiLE music recordings from 1967 in 2012.
Also, what a perfect day for Alan Boyd, Mark Linett & Dennis Wolfe for being the other three Grammy winning members of this SMiLE Sessions compilation production team.

Congratulations everyone!

I would like to point it out to runnersdialzero that even Mr. Bruce Johnston types it as SMiLE. I know that one's gonna bug ya!

God bless you Brian you absolutely deserved this, some of the other McCartney fans on his official forum are annoyed that SMiLE won the award, and I have to just say as one of the biggest McCartney fans out there...f*** RAM! Brian, Alan, Mark and the boys totally deserved this award way more than McCartney with his 50 million awards already!

A man of few words!

[SamMcK]

Doesn't it just make you want to give him a big hug!

A well deserved win. Nice to finally see Brian get recognition over McCartney.

[Les P]

Well-deserved congratulations to all, especially Alan and Mark for their tireless efforts to bring the perfect gift to fans.

Now we have the perfect epilogue to the BW biopic.  Let cameras roll!

[Kurosawa]

You could tell he was very, very nervous and that it meant a lot to him. Can't help but be so happy for Brian.

[Emdeeh]

I see the media has decided that there will be no more BB reunions, regardless of whether any happen in the future -- just like they decided that Brian was fired or that he was going to retire in 2012. Sheesh!

From Brian's Facebook page:

"I'm so happy I could cry. I guess Van Dyke and I were on to something after all. Thanks to the Boys for such beautiful vocals." - Brian

Beautiful news. I agree completely re SMILE and RAM. RAM was underrated in its day but does not compare with SMILE in terms of musical or cultural significance. Paul himself might agree. Congrats to Brian & his team.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Nope. The record stands for when H&V was "leaked" and the forum crashed for about 25 minutes

[Shane]

I'm so happy to see The Smile Sessions box, or as I refer to it, "The Mother of All Boxed Sets" win a Grammy.  Congrats to all involved.

A year ago, Grammys again, the boys' GV performance (1st public 'reunion' appearance). That might have been a record..  

[Rocker]

Great news! Brian, the boys and those who put the set togetehr (including Mark) certainly deserve this. The ydid a splendid job in the 60s and in the 2000s. I love the Beach Boys!

[drbeachboy]

I feel so proud, even though I had to nothing to with it, except to buy it and listen. Congrats to Brian and Van Dyke for writing it. To The Beach Boys for singing their hearts out on it. To Alan, Mark and Dennis for the super job of putting it all together. The guys are finally getting some hard-earned recognition over the past year or two.

[filledeplage]

Holy sh*t !  Hooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt !

 

Yes, Andrew!  Been waiting since high school for this SMiLE music to get the recognition it has always deserved!  

Persistence has been rewarded, finally.

Bravo!

The rest can eat their words with a fork and spoon.

[leggo of my ego]

  WONDERFUL 

[Chris Brown]

So happy for Brian, Mark and Alan.  Nice to see their hard work acknowledged and rewarded.

[Rob Dean]

So So Proud , and MANY thanks to Alan mentioning our recently departed good friend Les Chan xx

[Generation42]

Well derserved, fellas.  Congrats!

[Lowbacca]

I cannot find the video in that link--only home page and endless other videos. sorry. Please help

The link was just for the main page which is constantly updated with new video, it seems. Brian's spotlight is passé by now - I guess 'his' clip is buried somewhere beneath newer material although I can't find it at the moment. Might pop up on YouTube in a couple of hours.
